Burn

I used to burn my self allot. I was a cutter but i would also use burning as a form of self injury. it often hurts worse and leaves larger scars then cutting, but i dont hear of many people burning themselves? have others been through this too?

I cut a great deal, burned a few times but found that it was growing harder to hide and since I was trying to hide things I ended up just going back to cutting again. Though I admit there were often many times when I was tempted or had 'cooking accidents' that weren't as much an accident as people around me believed.

Healing comes with time, there will always be drawbacks but we have to keep pushing.

I used to be a cutter and burned myself quite a few times as well. about a month ago I burned myself again for the first time in years because ive been having a hard time lately and it was one of the worst burns ive done. I used a lighter and it blistered and bubbled up really bad. The scar looks awful and makes me not want to start up cutting or burning again. it reminded me of my past and i definetly dont want to go back there i want to move forward.

I was someone who burned myself back in high school for about a year. I stopped when I saw how badly it affected my friends. And when my senior prom came around, I hated how my arms looked with all the scars, and it helped me get over it. Glad I moved past it, was a terrible thing to do.
